You deserve rep.

BTW, there's a minor issue with the ABA, which I'll explain tomorrow. OOTP 9 will ship with an ABA quickstart. I made the last upload of the file yesterday.

The placement of "only" determines which part of the sentence it qualifies. Observe, please:

"there can only be one top performance" implies that nothing else can "be" true. Might not another circumstance "be" equally as true?

"there can be only one top performance" says clearly that there is one possibility; that is, only "one top performance."

Any questions?

No? OK, I have one. For godsakes, how many hours are there left now until game release???

Still seems to mean the same thing to me. Either way it's wrong though because you can have multiple game performances with the same game score.

It will be 18th Wednesday in about 7.5 hours..., in Japan!

I know I sound like a 10 year old...

Many of us feel that way tonight, myasu.

Isn't it tomorrow now? I mean, are we there yet? Or, have you explained the minor issue with the ABA?

EDIT: Scrap that, don't need to know about the ABA. Just read about your mom. Very, very sorry to hear that man. I wish you and your family the best of luck, and I hope your mother gets well, and soon.

I went looking for this reference, and unfortunately I found it. The very best of luck to you and your Mom, Raidergoo.

Raidergoo,

I am so sorry about your mother.
Family should come first before anything else.
I hope you will spend as much time as possible with your mom.
I am sure she needs you right now, more than anybody/anything in this world.

I am dealing with it the best I can, and self-medicating with OOTP stats, and Mt Dew, and a few nacho chips. To say the least, I am bummed out.

ABA was supposed to ship with board members in the file, but to get them into the file and keep them there during this crazy last minute period requires inputting the names into a file when 9 goes gold. So, ABA is shipping, set in 1951, with no history. It does have about a billion things customized, like the logos and unis. ABA did meet one of its objectives, to make cool looking screen shots and for possible use in the manual.

So, when they release the final version tomorrow, I'll update it with names, and post it as a mod on some mod sites. It takes me 45 minutes to an hour to do.

The modded file will have the players from the board and with the history. If they did things as I wanted, this would be 100 megabytes.

Tomorrow afternoon, I am going over to my parents house, and I'll have a cheeseburger with them. The kids will play in their back yard, under the bright blue sky.

It will be glorious.
